I definitely used to write a lot at school. Comic poetry and drawings about people.

I always carry a pair of scissors around with me to cut things out of magazines.

I've got a great relationship with my dad, but I can imagine how annoying it would be if I had to move back into his house.

Middle-aged women on telly is a bit of a hot topic - before, we were 27 to 37, and now we're 40 to 50. You do notice as you get older... you go past 35, and suddenly you're playing baddies.
